Konie Bryant sent an update on Bill. His cancer markers are up again and his chemo regimen is being changed. Please pray for his treatment plan, response to the chemo, and healing.

Linda Anderson thanks all of us for praying for her trip to Detroit last week. She knew that people were praying when her cab driver asked how he could best pray for her. She will return to Detroit on Sept. 23 for follow-up.

Elisabeth Elliot writes in her book Secure in the Everlasting Arms "God shield us from most of the things that we fear, but when He chooses not to shield us, He unfailingly allots grace in the measure needed. It is for us to choose to receive or refuse it. Our joy or our misery will depend on that choice." It may be a praying cab driver or it could be friends that cut the grass and blow the driveway- those who fetch bottled water from Sam's or drive you to a treatment. To one with eyes of faith, these tender mercies are God's gracious gifts to enable us to fulfill our assignment- "the race that is marked for us." Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)
